    It's a little weird that the Sanders campaign just spent several weeks advancing a (legitimate) critique of the corporate media, only to then invite those same corporate media members to participate in a friendly softball game with the campaign...?

        Sorry, if another campaign invited the media to engage in a group recreation/social event, the scorn would be raining down. I'm old enough to remember the McCain press corps BBQ in 2008.

        Not the worst thing in the world and I have no doubt that Bernie will continue his wider media critique, but it would be nice if people even had the pretense of maintaining universally-applicable standards for such things

        For once, I disagree with you on this, Michael. I think it's bringing back some old time fun. It pokes fun at the media in a way that actually hits home. They got nothing! They don't show up, they forfeit, and it says EVERYTHING about their actual legitimacy. I think it's clever.

        And Bernie, despite his hippy past, is quite wonderfully an "old fashioned guy". It's part of why people like him across the aisle. It speaks 2 his electability. It's about America. The big one, not the broken down into it's feuding components America. The good 1. The united 1

        Not really. It’s refreshing to critique while reaching out and being civil.

        He’s still not serious about running, is he? He let these snakes run roughshod all over him and his supporters in ‘16. Still pissed my mother donated to his campaign only to have DNC and media sycophants rig the primary. Bernie’s relative silence in face of that was bitter pill.

        Kill ‘em with kindness. Presumably some of them actually have friends or families who would demonstrably benefit from his policies. It’s not like he’s inviting them to have lobster risotto and champagne at his campaign chair’s home.

        he recognizes the bias and is using diplomacy to deal with it rather than throwing a fit.

        It's not possible for a dem candidate to take a full on feud with the corporate media and win. Among Republicans it'd be seen as a strength, but dems love the corporate media too much.

        It's actually not weird at all upon considering he's spent two decades railing against the duopoloy, one of whom intentionally shat on his last presidential run and is still doing so, and yet he's STILL willing to run as a Democrat. #Disingenuous #BigTalkCrippledWalk

        Well, he recognizes his critique is correct, and this has found his way to get them to give him positive coverage: a meaningless spectacle that treats politics as being about personality and pageantry. If he can get some votes from substance free voters this way, fine.

        Could also be considered damage control after the negative framing of his campaign's stance toward the media.

        They (the media) aren't the enemy of the people. At the end of the day hes going to have to deal with them. Might as well be respectful if nothing else.
